Fluidr / Nighttime Feeding Frenzy (Common Nighthawk) by The Owl Man

The nighthawks were going crazy in our neighborhood last night with a couple of hundred birds feeding on a sudden evening hatch of flies.
Night hawks are a type of Nightjar similar to Whip-poor-wills. They spend most of their life on the wing traveling or feeding on insects.
